Right now, the Sub totals either appear for Rows and Columns both or not at all.

Jim Wahl's answer is the way to go.
A workflow that I use is:
1) Add all the subtotal using using Analysis > Add all Subtotals as shown in this image:
2) Go to the pill on the rows or columns shelf and take off the subtotal I don't want.
There might be another way.
